☆ Biden Campaign, Barely in Gear, Inches Toward 2024
  + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Reid J. Epstein | Shane Goldmacher | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Two weeks after President Biden unveiled his re-election bid, his campaign manager has yet to start the job, his seven co-chairs have not had a group discussion and his team has made little outreach to allies in Congress. For all the attention on Mr. Biden’s gauzy announcement video and the symbolism his campaign attributed to the day he entered the race — precisely four years after he began his 2020 bid and with the same message of saving the nation’s very soul — there is little evidence of the typical preparation for a national political campaign. Mr. Biden’s top advisers insist the limited-release nature of his 2024 campaign is boring by design. They say they are holding down costs by outsourcing as much as possible to the Democratic National Committee while the president’s senior staff members remain ensconced in top White House roles that allow them to engage in campaign strategy. “All of the pieces that should and need to fall into place will,” Jeffrey Katzenberg, the Hollywood mogul and Democratic megadonor and one of the Biden campaign co-chairs, said in an interview.
☆ Jay Inslee Sees Greener Pastures Ahead
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Reid J. Epstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
My dad was a track coach, and he always said run through the tape, so I’ll be running through the tape. I have not, but he has a few other things on his mind, so I’m happy that he’s up and running in his race. I just came from an unveiling of the world’s largest commercial hydrogen fuel cell plane that represents a potential for sustainable aviation. These are the things that his accomplishment is going to accelerate, and I could not be more excited about that. So, you know, there’s always things on siting and permitting that are contentious.
☆ Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington, Climate Champion, Won’t Seek Re-Election
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( Reid J. Epstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Jay Inslee of Washington State, the nation’s longest-serving current governor and one of the Democratic Party’s leading climate defenders, will not seek a fourth term in office next year, he announced on Monday. “Serving the people as governor of Washington State has been my greatest honor,” he said. “During a decade of dynamic change, we’ve made Washington a beacon for progress for the nation. During President Donald J. Trump’s years in office, Mr. Inslee placed himself on the vanguard of the Democratic opposition to Mr. Trump’s policies. Mr. Inslee and the Washington State attorney general, Bob Ferguson, filed a series of lawsuits against Mr. Trump’s administration, challenging policies on its ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries, its separation of migrant children from their parents and its unwinding of climate regulations.
☆ As Biden Runs Again, Black Voters’ Frustration Bubbles
  + stars: | 2023-04-29 | by ( Maya King | Reid J. Epstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In his campaign announcement, Mr. Biden made no secret of the importance of Black voters to his re-election. The state party is preparing to hold its presidential primary first in the nominating process — a move Mr. Biden and Democrats said was made to give Black voters more influence. Mr. Biden’s allies maintain that his administration has delivered for Black voters but that he has failed to trumpet some of his progress. The economy, a top concern for Black voters, has recovered from its pandemic doldrums, though inflation, which spiked last summer, remains higher on a sustained basis than it has been for decades. “The president and vice president have made issues Black Americans care most about a priority and are running to finish the job,” said Kevin Munoz, a spokesman for Mr. Biden’s campaign.
☆ The Tiny, Tight-Lipped Circle of Aides Guiding Biden 2024
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Reid J. Epstein | Katie Glueck | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When President Biden announced his re-election campaign and its top two staff members this week, the names of his closest and longest-serving advisers were not included. A small circle of senior officials, some who have known Mr. Biden for longer than many of the soon-to-be-hired campaign staff members have been alive, will guide the president’s political strategy both in the White House and on the campaign trail. Of the six, only Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Jeff Zients, the White House chief of staff, have active Twitter accounts. But it was members of this group who began making phone calls last weekend to offer positions on Mr. Biden’s campaign, only some of which have been announced. Officials in the White House and on his nascent campaign insist the campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, will be empowered to run Mr. Biden’s re-election bid.
☆ Biden’s 2024 Campaign Begins. You Might Miss It at First.
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Reid J. Epstein | Shane Goldmacher | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
At moments, the campaign rollout had the feel of a nostalgia tour, like an old band trying to recapture the magic of the past. The announcement was timed to the exact day of Mr. Biden’s kickoff four years earlier. The 2024 presidential race is expected to revolve around about half a dozen highly competitive states. Nevada and North Carolina, which has been just out of Democrats’ grasp in recent years, are expected to have heavy spending, as well. The call included, among others, the governors of Michigan, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
☆ 5 Reasons Democrats Picked Chicago for Their 2024 Convention

The arena also has twice as many suites as Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, which would have hosted the convention there. Crime and local politicsIt’s pretty clear how Republicans will portray Mr. Biden’s convention city. Democrats answered that pandemic-era spikes in crime were easing, in Chicago and across the country. “The truth is that things have gotten better and better,” Mr. Pritzker said. “It’s a recovery across the nation in major cities that includes a recovery on the issue of crime.
☆ Live Updates: Georgia Voters Head to Polls for Final Say on Warnock vs. Walker

Mr. Warnock consolidated Democratic voters, while Mr. Walker struggled to rally his party behind him. Mr. Walker was wrapping up a campaign that appears to have failed to consolidate the disparate wings of his party.
